[VoiceOps] Request to block number?

[Paul Timmins]

I wonder if the plan is to spoof a victim's number and  get people to block someone who is about to be victimized to prevent them from complaining or stopping some form of fraud that they're planning.

Did the stir/shaken header on this call indicate it came from Verizon Wireless?

He's tried multiple times and didn't explain why when questioned.  He said multiple times he wanted his number to be blocked from calling our company.
